DESCRIPTION
Web Snapper lets you capture web pages - exactly as they appear in your browser. You can send them to a file, as images or vector-based, multi-page PDFs. It captures the whole web page - eliminating the need to cut, paste and crop multiple screen-shots when trying to create an image or PDF. Web Snapper integrates with Safari via a toolbar button. When clicked, it takes a picture of the current site – but it will also work with any browser as a stand-alone application that accepts drag-and-drop URLs. Regardless of how you invoke it, Web Snapper converts the URL it was given into a continuous vector PDF with everything on the page looking exactly as you originally saw it in the browser.

SJSW  In my opinion, developers should let users know when their app utilizes some kind of "plug-in" architecture to facilitate the app working on OS X. Many users (including myself) consider these "work-arounds" to be "undesirable" as they are not supported by and, in fact, discouraged by Apple. In fact any crash report that goes out to Apple with with any of these "facilitators" installed is completely ignored due to the problems they have caused in the past. Personally, I've had bad experiences with APE and SIMBL so I will not install them on my system, I just think that developers should be upfront with users that they are installing another piece of software besides the app. For instance, under "requirements" on MacUpdate TastyApps could list "Spicerack" as a requirement (and explain what it does) since it is technically needed to make the browser plug-in function. That being said I have no experience with "Spicerack", but someone would have to convince me how it is fundamentally different than APE or SIMBL (other than being a prefpane) for me to install it on my system. Basically I'm just saying that I want to know what is being installed on my system, that's all. I have no quarrel with developers who use them, I just want to have the information in order to make an informed decision.

HARRISTYPE  I love this app, but seldom use it anymore since I'm primarily using Firefox for browsing the internet. It would sure be nice if the developer would make a version that supported Firefox either as an application or an add-on.

ED1921  Take a look at the FAQ for Web Snapper at www.tastyapps.com

There are instructions at the bottom that make using Web Snapper in FireFox almost as easy as is in Safari.

MARXWASRIGHTAFTERALL  I've got to say, the customer support for TastyApps (the developer) is excellent. I needed support for WebSnapper, and sent an e-mail off. Not five minutes later, I had an answer to my problem (registration of the product), and on a Friday at nine o'clock est! The software works great; but if your a fan of customer support like I am, then look to Tasty for future products!

HANS DE WOLF1  For me, the major benefit of this tool is that it allows you to capture a complete web page as a single page PDF file - something that cannot be done with the print-to-PDF method.

DRDUL  FYI: In order to function as a plugin in 64-bit mode, Web Snapper installs a new preference pane within System Preferences called "SpiceRack." I contacted Tasty Apps about this, and this is what they said:

"SpiceRack is the framework used to load bundles into Safari. Before it used to be SIMBL, which had no face to the user - so it got installed but you never saw it. SpiceRack adds this preference pane so you can easily manage all your "spices" (or plugins) easily and in one central place."

JPROKOS  SpiceRack is a TastyApps product so the only "Spices" are made by TastyApps. It sounds like they are saying there are many developers making "Spices" that their application, SpiceRack, can control when in fact it's just their apps. Maybe they are trying to market it as a repalcement for SIMBL or APE??

TOMDOHERTY  This version quits for me every time on launch. I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11 on a PowerBook G4.

PTG701  Why is this application needed?

I always save sites and pages as multi-page pdf documents by going to "print/save as pdf" in the menu.

STEVED  I have been using this software since it was Red Snapper, and I find it to be indispensable. I do a lot of online financial transactions and this allows me to keep exact records of purchases/transfers.

The developer has been very good in responding to questions and finding old licenses.

The only downsides are that 1) it only works in Safari and 2) Apple no longer supports input managers in Snow Leopard, so you will need to reset Safari to 32 bit.

Am currently using 2.3.5 on Tiger, but planning to upgrade to S.L. soon.

KITMOS  This works fine in Snow Leo. You may have to set Safari at 32 bit but I don't find that hinders anything.

ROGER KATZ  BRAVO to this developer's tech support. Version 2.3.5 corrects a problem I had when I used version 2.3.4 with MacOS 10.5.8. I want to congratulate the developer on his prompt support. He returned my first eMail within 30 minutes, and after I provided him the specific information he requested, he sent me a release candidate within 12 hours.

I have been using, very frequently, Web Snapper for the last eight months, and I still find it to be indispensible - each and every day.

KITMOS  This program works great. I know there are many other ways of doing what it does but do it as easily.

Note that in SnoLeo you need to run Safari under 32 bit for this to install and sometimes (in my case, yes) after installing the button and restarting Safari you need to go to View> Customize Toolbar and drag WebSnapper back to the tool bar.
